20 Most Recent LG CHOCOLATE VX8500 Cellular Phone - Page 2 Questions & Answers

Not happening ... Verizon phones run on a CDMA network. Cingular and T Mobile run on GSM ... Sprint although runs on CDMA .. last i heard were making most of their phones hybrid (CDMSA and iDEN ) and verizon phones can in no way shape or form be made a hybrid phone... specially not an LG phone.

Also, with verizon phones, there's nothing to unlock .. they are ESN bound phones meaning only the service provider can say YES or NO weather they'll use it on their network or not. There's no CIM cards

Sorry

Here are the steps I took:

1. Insert the micro sd card with the metal plates facing you (that took me a second). Don't worry about the little push you have to give.
2. Go to the Settings & Tools option in the Menu.
3. Select *. Memory
4. Selct 3. Card Memory
5. Select Options while the bar is on "1. Memory Usage". The only option available to me was 1. Format and select that.
6. It will ask for the phone lock code-if you have never set it IT IS THE LAST 4 DIGITS OF YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER.
7. The phone will format the card and put the file folders on it.
8. Use the adaptor USB reader or whatever you have to connect it to the computer. Copy songs to the my_music folder.

for mp3 as ringtones:

1. You should select the part of the song you like, and can add effects with this:http://www.mptrim.com/
2. To set it as a ringtone, send it as an attachments to you [email protected]. It must be small to go through, around 30 seconds.
   
3. You will get a text message, and select options. Select Save As Ringtone.

you might want to take it back to the store. that is a serious problem

what is the master reset for lg vx8500

its most proberbly a cdma phone but u can use pc suite for device identity

You need to contact the service provider to get puk code.. they will ask you few security questions before giving you the puk code.. Thnx

you can try to do *22899 which will sometimes reset it to the last four of your phone number if this does not work, take it to the verizon store and ask a rep to hook it up to the PST machine and get the code for you, please find a knowledgeable rep to do this

this usually stems from an account setting on VZW side where they have mobile web disabled you would need to contact the service provider

Dial *4357*4357 and then that should give you the phone number and then just use the last 4 digits to unlock it

You should just have to dial *228 if it is a vzw phone...should regrogram it

TAKE IT TO ANY STORE THEY WILL FLASH IT

go to www.mobile2mobile.net or take it to a mobile service center or tech and have them unlock it for you.
